Chapter 5~ Dementors... The Truth
****
'So you like him?' Harry asked.
'I...I don't know! I mean he's sweet and really great...' Ginny answered.
'I'll make it easy for you.' Hermione said interrupting her. 'Answer these questions. One: Do you always think about him?'
'Yes.'
'Do you love being near him?'
'Yes.'
'Do you long for the times you'll be with him?'
'Yes.'
'Then, Ginny, you're in love.' Hermione stated sweetly and hugged Ginny, 'You finally made it Gin! You found the guy of your dreams.' Hermione said quickly. (A/N: Hermione's guy was Viktor.)
'She hasn't found anyone.' Ron said loudly gritting his teeth.
'Ron, don't act this way, She couldn't help it. Think about Halloween night, the heat and chemistry between those two was so detectable! It was love at first sight. And we as wizards should know that we can't stop destiny.' Hermione answered.

They finally went to sleep that night. Ron and Harry went to their room, Harry had to quiet Ron down because he kept mumbling things about Draco.
Hermione helped Ginny up to her room and then wen to her own. Ginny lay in bed thinking about that night. Silently tears started to fall down her face, she was happy that she had Draco... but couldn't stand that Ron hated the two of them together so much. She had expected problems from the beginning, but this was way to much. Then slowly between her tears she fell asleep...
****
The next night Ginny made her way to the Arithmancy room. Draco had owled her that morning and told her to meet him there. Wrapped in her blanket Ginny slowly and clumsily made it to the room.
When she got there the room was dark and she couldn't see a thing. There was an unusual breeze coming from inside, a cold breeze that made her shiver. She walked in and knew she wasn't alone.
'Draco?' she said quietly.
'Yes?' he said and walked over to her. 'Your freezing, I could here your teeth chattering from over there.' He said and wrapped his arms around her trying to keep her warm.
'Draco...' she said and then burst into tears. Very loud tears, which alarmed Draco, he muttered a spell and so no one except they could hear her crying.
'What's wrong? What did Ron do to you?'
'N-nothing, he-he just got mad. A-and he kn-nows that I-I'm in l-l-ove with y-y-ou.' She stumbled out between sobs.
'You're in love with me?' Draco said and he sat down on the chair and buried his face in his hands and thought. "I never knew she was in love with me. I never knew it had gone this far... I love her so much, but I don't want her to be upset."
'Draco what am I going to do? Ron won't talk to me... I know it! He's been avoiding me all day.'
'Shh. First, stop crying.' He said soothingly and wiped her tears. 'Second, come here.' He said. Ginny had ended up being about 4 feet away from him, she walked over slowly and went into his open arms. 'Third, I'll talk to Ron. Leave it to me.'
'Draco you can't. He'll... he'll kill you.' Ginny begged.
'He can't.' Draco replied laughing a little, 'What would Dumbledore say?'
Ginny grinned.
'Now get up, come on.' He said and helped her up. 'Let's get you back to Gryffindor, Ron will be worried.'
'He won't be worried, he'll think I'm with you and probably be angry and come to the lake with a baseball bat.' Ginny answered.
'Don't be stupid.' He said and started to drag her limp body out the door, but then he stopped turned around and kissed her.
The kiss, passionate indeed, grew more intense every second. Ginny and Draco clung to each other not daring to pull away. Then they didn't notice the footsteps that approached the room... soon the fire had been turned on magically and there in front of them stood Harry.
'Enough snoggin' for ya Draco?' Harry said angrily and took Ginny away from him. 'I should have known you'd try and take advantage of Ginny.'
'Harry what are you doing!' Ginny screamed. But the scream was muffled, the spell Draco had cast on her muffled her voice.
'Ginny stay out of this.' Harry ordered and he took out his wand, so did Draco.
'Draco, please, don't do this.' Ginny begged.
'I'm not going to do anything, Ginny. Not unless he does something.' Draco said looking into Ginny's sad eyes.
'Don't tell her that! You're going to be worse than me.' Harry said enraged. He walked forward...
'Harry stop! You have no right to do this and mingle in my affairs! Now get out of here!' Ginny said.
'What are you saying?' Harry said diverting his anger to Ginny. 'Oh yeah, and YOU, what were you doing here? It didn't seem like Draco forced you to kiss him.'
'Harry we already talked about this.' Ginny said quietly afraid of his anger.
'You... didn't?!'
'Harry I thought you were the reasonable one. Ron was angry... but you?' Ginny said. 'I thought you understood love.'
'So it's true...' Harry said, his anger subsiding. 'I wish you two the happiest of times.' He said quietly than turned and left.
'That was strange.' Draco said scratching his head.
'Harry understands... He knows how it is to loose someone you love, even though you never met them. He understands.' Ginny said.
'You mean his parents?'
'Yeah, he'll never forget what he heard when the dementors almost killed him in his 3rd year.' Ginny said quietly.
'He heard..?'
'He heard his parents being killed. He heard his mum pleading with You-Know-Who to spare the child. He heard his father telling his mother to run for it, his father would try and delay The Dark Lord.' Ginny said and started to tremble.
'You hear things too, don't you Ginny? When the dementors come.' Draco said quietly worrying about why Ginny was trembling.
'Yes I do... Draco I hear Tom Riddle. I hear him about to kill me with the Cruciatus Curse, he threatened me when I was down there. I was only 11 or 12, I was terrified.' She said.
'That'll never happen again. I promise.'
'I know you mean that, and I thank you, Draco Malfoy, I thank you with all my heart.' She said and kissed him on the cheek.
